After Chu Feng killed Li Rui, he collected all of his clothing and his Universe Bag.
"Why don't you take a look and see what treasures are inside his Universe Bag?" Eggie asked curiously.
"I won't touch his things. I'm going to hand them all over to Xu Yiyi intact," Chu Feng said.
"Why hand them over to her? Don't tell me you're going to let her know you killed Li Rui?" Eggie asked.
"My queen, I can deceive other people, but I can't deceive Xu Yiyi. After all, she's been quite sincere toward me," Chu Feng said.
"Fine, fine, do whatever you want," Eggie said nonchalantly.
After that, Chu Feng stepped into the teleportation formation, and when he reappeared, he was already at the summit of Cloud Crane Mountain.
This so-called summit was vast. Though white clouds surrounded it on all sides, its area was still enormous — it was practically like a small plain floating in the sky.
The first thing that caught Chu Feng's eye was a magnificent grand formation. It shimmered with golden radiance, resembling an imposing architectural structure, truly spectacular.
Moreover, the Immortal-level barrier power flowing within it was of the Dragon-patterned grade, and that barrier power radiated an immense charm that drew Chu Feng, a Spirit World Master, in involuntarily.
That, he figured, must be the Dao Comprehension Barrier Formation that the Golden Crane True Immortal had set up.
However, ascending to that Dao Comprehension Barrier Formation was no simple matter.
One first had to pass through another grand formation, and inside it, there were already at least a hundred people, including Pocket Master, Three Swords True Man, and Liu Xiaoli.
What surprised Chu Feng the most was that three people had already passed through that formation and were standing outside the Dao Comprehension Barrier Formation.
Those three were the second, third, and fourth of the Four Barrier Emperors.
Though they had passed through the blocking formation, the three of them hadn't immediately entered the Dao Comprehension Barrier Formation. Instead, they were waiting.
What they were waiting for was a person — the eldest of the Four Barrier Emperors.
Right now, the eldest of the Four Barrier Emperors was engaged in a fierce battle against Pocket Master and Three Swords True Man.
What astonished Chu Feng, however, was that these two experts — Pocket Master and Three Swords True Man — were being suppressed by the eldest of the Four Barrier Emperors alone.
Still, they were only using fist strikes, and they weren't wielding martial power but rather a special type of barrier force. That barrier force came from the armor they wore.
The armor was manifested from barrier power, yet it was unique. At this moment, the source of everyone's strength was that barrier armor.
And the armor differed from person to person. Most people's armor was silver, while a small number wore copper-colored armor.
However, the six of them — the Four Barrier Emperors, Pocket Master, and Three Swords True Man — had gold-colored barrier armor.
Although the gap in their strength wasn't enormous, it was clear that gold was the strongest, silver was somewhat weaker, and copper was the weakest.
"Young friend Chu Feng, you've finally arrived!" Suddenly, Elder Ning Shuang of Luoxia Valley hurried over.
"Elder Ning Shuang, what's going on here?" Chu Feng asked curiously.
"You arrived late, so you don't understand the rules here yet. Let me explain." Elder Ning Shuang pointed toward the entrance of the formation where everyone currently stood and said, "Look over there — that entrance isn't an ordinary entrance. It's also a formation."
"Once you step inside, the formation will grant you a suit of barrier armor based on the strength of your barrier power."
"Once the barrier armor attaches to your body, all of your martial power is sealed. The only strength you can use is what the barrier armor bestows upon you."
"After putting on the barrier armor, you can enter and fight everyone inside. Defeat everyone present, and you'll be teleported to the Dao Comprehension Barrier Formation."
"However, if your barrier power isn't strong enough, you won't just fail to obtain the barrier armor — you'll also be expelled by the formation. You won't even qualify to enter."
